BUDAPEST AIRPORT invests further in cargo facilities

Budapest Airport is continuing to develop its Cargo City with the addition of new cargo areas. The airport will extend its cargo area with a further 2,000 sq m of office space on the mezzanine level, and 6,000 sq m of maneuvering and storage areas alongside a 1,450 square meters multifunctional canopy area created for live animal treatment. Work is due to start later this month. The expansion will allow Budapest to handle 240,000 tonnes at the Cargo City with an additional 60,000 tonnes being served via the integrator facilities of DHL, UPS, and FedEx at Terminal one. René Droese, chief development officer, Budapest Airport, said, “Budapest Airport is committed to cargo development. Seeing the rapid increase of our cargo volumes after the initial investment of the BUD Cargo City, this next step has been an obvious choice to enable our growth and progression.
